They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a β€œweapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

The worst part about the Kash video is just how much of a DORK he looked like.

Like a guy who for the first time was at a party with the cool kids and trying too hard

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

The Minnesota legislative session begins today, and Melissa Hortman’s desk will remain empty, with a photo and flowers to honor her memory.

I will never forget Melissa and Mark, and I know Minnesota won’t either.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

Anderson Cooper is leaving his role as a correspondent on CBS News’s 60 Minutes after nearly 20 years with the program. He will not renew his CBS contract and is stepping away from that role. We hope more continue this trend it’s hard not to see CBS as state-run media.

Epstein survivor tells CBS News how she was trafficked, and assaulted Juliette Bryant says not long after meeting Jeffrey Epstein, he assaulted her, and she realized, "this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped."

β€œAs the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot?

What is his title?

What is his job?

What is his official position in the US government?

If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Bondi: He didn't even know Chase Mulligan was. He is a defendant in your own district who preyed on girls.

Raskin: Well, you know what? If he were part of the Epstein investigation, you wouldn’t do anything about it.

Goldman: β€œYou & your untrained, unqualified, unvetted, unidentified agents are intentionally terrorizing our cities & communities all over this country to avoid accountability for their excessive force & their lawless actions β€” that is why you're wearing masks.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Rep. Raskin to Pam Bondi: You're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims. That will be your legacy. You're running a massive Epstein coverup right out of the Department of Justice.
